A
4. On the receipt by the Crown Agents of the
Consulting Engineer's report, accompanied of
course by estimate of cost, it is sent to the
Colonial Government for consideration. Doubt-
ful points are settled by correspondence until
the scheme reaches a shape in which it is adopt- by the Colonial Government and its execution sanctioned by the Secretary of State.
5.At this stage, unless the point has already
been considered, it is usually necessary to de-
cide whether the work shall be executed by con-
tract or on what is known as the "departmental"
system. A discussion of the relative advan-
tages of the two systems would be beyond the
scope of this memorandum, but briefly it may
be stated that where the magnitude and character
of the work and the locality in which it lies
are such as would be likely to attract contract-
ors of good standing, and where it admits of
being designed and estimated in full detail
beforehand, the contract system may present ad-
vantages. Where, on the other hand, from the
nature of the ahheme or pressure of time the
design cannot be completed in detail before-
hand; or where for whatever reasons it is likely
to be much modified during execution; or where,
88 in town drainage, the convenience of local
bodies or of the inhabitants has to be studied
so that a contractor could not be given freedom
